The 23 men and 11 women who took part in the programme came from the host
country, with one participant from Japan.

The participants were selected by the Hong Kong Education Department and worked
hard to ensure they received the most from the experience.

The highlight was a youth festival, where participants coached six young teams in
a tournament on the last day of the course. School officials including teachers,
coaches, students, and officials of the national federation all took part in
the event. At the end of the tournament, the national federation vice-chairman presented
trophies to the winners at the closing ceremony.
